In pharmaceutical research, clinical study reports contain word-processing tables that are usually retyped from SAS output. In order to rebundle the data into a tabular format or into a more refined look and to ensure accuracy, a considerable amount of manual labor in typing and verifying is involved. Whenever data values change, the process is to be repeated. On the other hand, if dedicated programs or report templates are created to output every word-processing table programmatically, there will be a substantial amount of programming development efforts as well as a long list of report designs to store. This paper describes the main points in developing a general-purpose Visual Basic for Applications program for repackaging a wide variety of output.
